Coagulation is "the process of the interaction of blood coagulation factors that results in an insoluble fibrin clot."[1]
Biochemistry
All coagulation factors are produced in the liver except for von Willebrand's factor.[2] However, Factor VIII levels may be normal in liver disease.[2][3] The synthesis of coagulation factors II, VII, IX, and X and proteins C and S is dependent on vitamin K.[3]
Intrinsic pathway
The intrinsic pathway uses Factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII. The partial thromboplastin time measures the function of the intrinsic pathway and the common pathway.
Extrinsic pathway
The extrinsic pathway uses Factors VII and X. The prothrombin time measures the function of the extrinsic pathway and the common pathway.
Final common pathway
The final common pathway used factors II (prothrombin) and I (fibrinogen).
Disorders of coagulation
Blood coagulation disorders are "hemorrhagic and thrombotic disorders that occur as a consequence of abnormalities in blood coagulation due to a variety of factors such as coagulation protein disorders; blood platelet disorders; blood protein disorders or nutritional conditions."[4]
Factor I deficiency
Deficiency of Factor I (fibrinogen) may be inherited (afibrinogenemia) or acquired.
Factor II deficiency
Deficiency of Factor II (prothrombin) leads to hypoprothrombinemia. The defiency may be acquired in due to prothrombin antibodies.[5]
Factor V deficiency
Factor V deficiency is a "(known as proaccelerin or accelerator globulin or labile factor) leading to a rare hemorrhagic tendency known as Owren's disease or parahemophilia. It varies greatly in severity. Factor V deficiency is an autosomal recessive trait."[6]
Factor X deficiency
Factor X deficiency is a "blood coagulation disorder usually inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, though it can be acquired. It is characterized by defective activity in both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, impaired thromboplastin time, and impaired prothrombin consumption."[7]
Multiple factor deficiencies
Heparin therapy primarily affects Factors IX and X of the intrinsic pathway. Thus, its effect is monitored by the partial thromboplastin time. However, it can affect the prothrombin time as well.[8] and extend the prothrombin time by one to two seconds.[9]
Warfarin therapy reduces the vitamin K dependent cofactors II, VII, IX, and X. With the exception of Factor IX, these factors are from either the extrinsic pathway or the final common pathway. The effect of warfarin is measured by the prothrombin time (or the International Normalized Ratio derived from the prothrombin time) although warfarin can also affect the partial thromboplastin time.[10][11]
Cirrhosis affects all coagulation factors except von Willebrand's factor and Factor VIII.
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation affects all coagulation factors.
